BTW, Miami has 20 out of their next 27 games on the road. Think they're gonna drop? Can we take advantage?

Do the raps really want to take advantage?
I mean, I think they stand a better change of beating Orlando than Atlanta.
Raps have been competitive with Orlando this season, while the games vs. Atlanta have been blowouts. Raps just couldn't match their athleticism

We don't match up well with either team. Our best chance is if the Heat move up to fourth and we manage to get the 5th spot, or vice versa (wishful thinking. :dancing:)

I'm surprised by Chicago. Not long ago they were sucking BADLY. Wtf changed? Did Chicago acquire new player(s)?

I don't see a upset this year from the raptors, and even if we beat the hawks big whoop cause cleveland or orlando will smoke us. I am still optimistic and anything could happen in the playoffs but not this year. When will we see a grade A toronto contender in this league I will never know.

Ya, does it really matter? I think making it past the first round would be more then enough to make me happy this year.

I think Atlanta is probably the team that the Raps would feel the most confident against. It wasn't so long ago that Bosh/Bargs/Jose were on a Raps team that probably felt they were better than the Hawks who had the same core then as they do now.

Raptors have played the Magic 3 times this season so far
2 of the games ended within 10pts
1 was a 20pt lost, but they were still in it at halftime.

Played the Hawks 2 times
blown out both games, the games where out of hand at halftime in both games.
